Personally, I've always had a huge crush on Maajid, he's so melty - no good me trying to argue the toss with him cos i'd just sit there gazing at him and enjoying watching his lips move and nodding inanely at everything he said.

i've heard him arguing some points of the koran with callers on LBC. no doubt about it he does try. One of them I remember was the right for a man to hit his wife if she disobeys him

he was saying 'do you think that's acceptable' and she said 'no, of course not,,,BUT it shouldn't happen as it is only accepted as a last resort when other methods have not worked''. they were going round in circles with this for some time then he said ''if you agree it's unnacceptable for a man to hit his wife then shouldn't that be taken out'' and she said,,,,''no of course it shouldn't be taken out,,,it's part of the sharia and must remain, but we should always remember that it is only a last resort'' (apparently this is viewed as some kind of merciful benevolent concession from mohammed.

there's no doubt he does try but the problem is that people like him who speak out plainly are disregarded and even labelled as islamophobes FFS!

hi didge, you good?

Hi Gelico

Am well thanks and you?

That is the problem. He is in the minority on trying to bring about change. I like how he challenges other Muslims and as seen, because they take the Quran as the word of their God. They thus find it impossible to disagree with anything with in the book. As seen above, the woman could not bring herself to condemn the actual verse. As by believing any part could be wrong, would bring their whole belief system into question.He is trying to make a difference, but it also takes the part of Muslims to recognize where things are completely wrong.

And his 'quilliam' think tank has had millions of uk taxpayer money...!!!

Max Blumenthal???

Do you know who he is Tommy, the joint writer of this hearsay views made against Nawaz?I did not find a single part in that which offered sources, just some claims made by some who knew him, without ever quoting one of them.

Never realised Tommy you backed such a regressive leftist as your source.

Names are given...

But Im more surprised at how you seem to automatically believe everything that Nawaz says is true...

Really?

Where did I say I believed everything Nawaz has stated?

Never did.

The article, is by a known hater of Nawaz, which automatically means there will be a bias.

You can provide names, but that is pointless without quotes or links to quotes they have made. So the article lacks credibility, as it proves little to no supporting evidence. Mainly hearsay claims

Great post gels and yes, he's great on LBC and also pretty nice on the eye.

But across every thread he's posting on today, he just keeps on showing us what a spineless and groveling, xenophobic and bigoted, paedo' embracing, uncaring and cowardly, slimy little grub he really is at heart.
